This book is unique in the library of SharePoint 2010 books I own. It is a
recipe book for entire solutions. The recipes take you from compiling the
requirements to the implementation and the management of the final solution.
The solutions covered in the book include:
Building a Project Management Solution
Building a Training Registration Management System
Building a Basic FAQ Solution
Building a Learning Center
Building a Help Desk Solution
Building a Remote Teams Activity Site
Building a Team Blog Platform
Building an RFP Response Solution
Building a Contact Management Solution
Building a Resource Scheduling Solution
Although the solutions in the book are good, they are not what I found to be
its most valuable asset. The process the authors walk you through and the way
they teach you to think about the design of the solutions is the most
valuable part of the book.

Get ready to learn, but be ready to work for it. This book is packed full of
hands on exercises the author calls "Learn by Doing". Every topic covered is
accompanied by a "Learn by Doing" section. If you take the time to go through
these while reading the book you will absorb triple the information. It takes
a lot of time, but is definitely worth it.
The author does provide a download of all the databases and projects created
throughout the book, so if you do not have time to manually type everything
in, you can download and configure them. I did the exercises of the things I
had... (more)
Elemental Design Patterns are the underlying core concepts of programming and
software design that have remained described.
This book is a book I wish I had 15 years ago to help me put the basics of
programming into their proper context. Learning how to make use of patterns
over the years would have been much simpler had I read this book first.
I have listed the chapters of the book below along with the patterns in the
catalog. Take a look at he names of the patterns and you can see how low
level these patterns are.
Chapter 1: Introduction to Design Patterns

This is one cool book. If you are starting to use Scrum, read it. If you are
using Scrum, read it. If you are just wondering what Scrum is all about, read
it. It gives the best insight into the workings of Scrum I have seen in a
book.
The chapters are laid out in a really nice to read format. Each one contains
sections titled The Story, The Model (or The Practices in some chapters),
Keys to Success, References, and sometimes Works Consulted (although I never
figured out what the difference between these and references where?).
The story is literally a story that comes from the auth... (more)
